TLChandler Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Tonight the Portland Trailblazers debuted the captain C against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is the first time the Blazers have ever worn a C to clarify who is captain. I don't have any photos yet just wanted to bring this up. Ps. Keep the C's in hockey.EDIT: Derek Anderson and Damon Stoudamire were the one's wearing the C's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I've seen basketball players wear C's so it's not horribly strange looking for me. What I find wierd is looking at some old football cards and even watching some college teams that currently exist and seeing football players wearing C's.Hasn't Allen Iverson and maybe Paul Pierce at one point worn C's? Very good chance I'm wrong, I just have this image in my head of them doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcjr81 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I think the "C" on Tracy McGradys jersey looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Since it's the Blazers doing it, are you sure the C doesn't stand for Convict? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Why do some teams use the "C" and others don't?

mac Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Barry Larkin wears a C on his unoform and I think it looks fine on a baseball jersey, the only sport where captain C's look strange is on football jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Mac, I have to say that I agree with you, but I do think that it can be done right:I always thought SU did a good job with the Captains 'C'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Sometimes I think in sports not hockey, they should use an arm band (or in basketball just a band across the shoulder) to signify a captian, like in soccer.

ColeJ Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 i love seeing other sports throwing captain C's on players...maybe it's just cause i'm a hockey fan, but i wouldn't mind seeing a C on steve mcnair's jersey... or a C or michael finley.
